Food may not be exactly like in Thailand but as good as can be. Highly recommend for those looking for thai cuisine in Connecticut.“

“Little Thai Kitchen is one of my go-to places when it comes to grabbing something for dinner, they never disappoint and the food is always fresh. The staff at this location are friendly, we usually dine-out but we have done dine-in on occasion and the service has always been excellent. Come here if you want the best Thai food in the area!“

“The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Amanda was so friendly and welcoming. We stopped by on our way home from Cape Cod as first timers and will be lifelong customers from now on. 100% recommend!“

“JP & the entire Layla's team are the best! I've catered lunch at the office twice from them and each time the food is delicious and the service is outstanding. This time around, I had filled out the online catering form late at night and and had a text from JP within 10 minutes to setup the order. Excellent every time. Thank you, JP!“

“Excellent! Been a while since I’ve been here and been a while since I’ve been in the northeast, so it tastes even better after being out west for so long.“

“This wonderful dinner was incredible!!!! absolutely 💯 delicious and way above other Italian restaurants in the area. They make food with love!!! Everything from beginning ✨️ to end was perfect 🥰 Thank you so very much for the hard work that you put into this! The food is fresh, hot and delicious! Loved the full glasses 🥂 of wine 🍷 too!!!“

“An absolute masterclass in Greek hospitality.We ordered an array of assorted small plates including, taramosalata, dolmades,and the chilled garlic potato puree (Skordalia), , the beautifully prepared branzino, and the incredibly flavorful meat combo(pikilia), (the lamb chops were all mine), every single dish was fantastic.
What truly made the experience unforgettable was the owner Faith. She treated us like family, even comping our dessert as if we were personal guests visiting Greece. On top of that the rice pudding alone was worth the trip. Outstanding food, genuine warmth and a must visit spot.“

“We love coming to this place. The food is not only delicious but of good quality. the place feels like home: dumplings, hot soups and those fried buns for dessert… 🍜 🥟 😋 Even when the place is packed, it’s worth the wait!“

“First and foremost, I RARELY give any restaurant five stars. This restaurant earned their five stars; food, service, atmosphere all hit the mark! The food is absolutely delicious. I'm a seafood lover and I must say it's the BEST seafood restaurant I've ever been to. Everything I ate was very fresh and the kitchen definitely know what they're doing. Calamari was crispy on the outside and tender inside. It comes with buffalo sauce, lemon aioli and bamu sauce which is a spicy thin Asian sauce. Clam chowder was creamy, had the usual bacon, clams and celery and garnished with a clam on the shell; great touch if you ask me. The spicy tuna tartare was my favorite thing I ate. It came with papadum chips that were light and crispy (better than potato chips!). The tuna tartare had the right amount of spice that didn't overpower your tastebuds but it let you know you were eating fresh, delicious tuna. The cucumbers added a very refreshing touch to the dish and I loved the wasabi aioli! The hot lobster roll was perfect. Coleslaw was delicious. The steamers are always messy to eat but worth it! I had a mini seafood feast and I was super satisfied leaving the restaurant. I usually finish a good meal with dessert but I had no room. There's always a next visit for that! I didn't try my son's cheeseburger because I strictly wanted seafood but it was cooked medium just how we asked and he said it was delicious. My son is a picky eater so if he says it's good, it's good. Ambiance is very nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you're a sun lover you'd love to be outdoors with the sun shining on you while you dine with a great view of the water and boats. Inside had nice nautical decor. They had a nice bar area with lots of drinks. Our server, MJ, was amazing. He was very attentive to all our needs. It was our first time eating here and we will return because of MJ and the amazing food. Our cups were always full and finished dishes cleared away. I appreciate servers like MJ because it elevates the dining experience. Great food can only get you so far but hard workers like MJ truly magnify a great experience. The restaurant was super packed. They have valet parking and I honestly thought we would wait forever but we didn't. We got in right away and our food promptly came out. MJ made sure we got the food in the order we wanted and we didn't feel rushed or ignored. Again, this is why I'm giving them five stars! If you love seafood, great service and a beautiful view, check them out.“

“We go here nearly every time we are in Norwalk. Love their arroz con pollo. All the food is actually amazingly delicious. My favorite drink is their sangria to the point they prep it for me when I walk in. Kind service. They feel like family.“

“Party of four. Everything from apps to Coffee was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.“

“and yet another excellent restaurant. Brasitas of Norwalk they offer everything.... good food, perfect service... cleanliness... great environment... and close to my hotel... the dulce de leche Flan is probably the best I ever had 🙌“

“Love Villa Italia! The food is always delicious. Highly recommend the chicken milanese and sitting outdoors when the weather permits.“

“Best enjoyed fresh out of the oven — crispy, classic NYC-style slices — but it also travels really well if you’re taking it to go.

I love CT-style pizza, but this is such a welcome change of pace, and it’s honestly the only FANTASTIC NYC-style pizza I’ve found in the area. This place deserves way more than 4.6 stars.

Beyond the pizza, everything else has been a 10 too — the tomato salad and fajita wrap were off the charts. The owner is a great guy, the spot feels authentic, and the service is genuinely great. Highly recommend.“

“Romanacci by the train station in Westport is my go-to place. The food is consistently very good, service is quick, and the pricing is reasonable. I find that Romanacci makes better food than a lot of the popular trendy restaurants around Westport. My favorites include the Dijon salmon, Tuscan beans, and lamb lollies.“

“We had my daughters baby shower at Banc house today. It was so perfect ! Delicious brunch ! Staff was super nice ! Thank you so much for making my daughter's day so so beautiful!“

“Food was phenomenal, and the staff was so friendly. The lunch special really hit the spot and well priced for what we got. Don't expect a lot of sitting space, but if you are looking for a good spot to grab lunch then you'll be hard pressed to find better.“

“Slice is a local gem! Their food is consistently great italian, from pizza to chicken to apps and everything in between. Their attention to detail for special orders is truly appreciated. And finally, you cannot beat their insanely fast delivery and friendly delivery people! Springdale is lucky to have slice in the neighborhood ☺“

“Sat at bar with a friend. We received our order which was fine. But once we were done the bartender did not clear off our dirty dishes from the bar. We pushed them to the side and in front of us and she just ignored them. So instead of ordering a desert we just decided to leave. Food was good service was horrible. Plus, a lot of the employees just hung at the end of the bar and talked. What a shame.“

“Had a mix up with my order today and they forgot my small pizza for my son. I was fine with waiting for the pizza to be made but they insisted I take a large pizza that was read “because the kids gotta eat”. Love this place, they are truly a staple of our community.“

“Great place! Cozy, friendly atmosphere and the falafel was excellent, not dry and very flavorful. The pistachio cake was also amazing. So many interesting things to try, can’t wait to go back!“

“Delicious food from a great member of our community. Try it; 100% chance you'll be glad you did. New Canaan is so lucky to have Chef Prasad.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars, only thing I would change is the hours. Wish they were open more!“

“I ordered the Pho King and it was super delicious!!! The broth was flavorful and seasoned, the beef was tender, and the vegetables and noodles were cooked perfectly. All the flavors came together to make a superb bowl of comfort. A shout out to the server, CHUCK, who answered my questions and provided thoughtful recommendations. I'm bringing family and friends next time!!!“

“We tried their pizza for the first time. Ordered a margarita pizza. It was delicious and unbelievably fresh and the dough was incredible. We’ve tried most pizza places in our area. This was definitely the best“
